Feb 4, 1998
A powerful nor'easter, carrying copious moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean region, dumped between 2 and 4 inches of rain across much of Maryland between the foothills and the Chesapeake Bay. Highest totals, ranging from 3 to 5 inches, fell in lower southern Maryland, causing widespread flooding of low lying areas and small streams and creeks. The nor'easter, coming on the heels of one just a week earlier, caused tides of 3 to 4 feet above normal from the Calvert Co/Anne Arundel Co
